  On places like Bluesky, most articles, videos or news content I’d share would have more to do with how much I trust the person posting or sharing it than with its main body of content. I figure that someone I value has read it, and so I skip it, because reading it would feel like work and I have to deal with enough of that as it is. Not to mention, “You won’t believe this one cool thing!” type headlines (like this one) are classic clickbaiting, and nobody wants to read a 10 page article that’s basically just advertising.

  It’s pretty common in Australia, so long as we’re not swearing at people nobody gives a fuck. I’d say unless your manager has mentioned it to you, it’s not a huge deal.

  I think they mean to ask for honest feedback, it’s quite possible your lack of success is linked to the mindset you have. Expecting to fail us one of the most common reasons to fail, but knowing that success requires a lot of failure is a much healthier approach.

  Have you you tried therapy to work through some of these issues? It’s helped me quite a lot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone tried Proton VPN?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While it’s a pretty good vpn all round that’s super easy to set and forget, I’ve been having issues the last ~6 months in Australia with the CIDR ranges getting blocked by Google, Reddit, and the like. It’s annoying to have it run fine for a few days, then suddenly have every second thing I do needing to solve a captcha for it.

  Try the freemium tier for a while and see if it works for you - I may be wrong and you’ll run a whole month with nothing, but never hurts to verify.

  Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad game honestly, the worst it gets is when the bots spike again and people start raging

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Controller help⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah ps4 works a charm, the hard part for me was figuring out why an Xbox controller didn’t. Turns out some of the older models had deprecated Bluetooth that it couldn’t connect to, so went with a ps4 one instead.
